collective snapshots

To make the beautiful pictures in his Collective Snapshots series, American photographer Pep Ventosa layered multiple photographs of twelve popular tourist attractions on top of each other. He describes the resulting images as representative of our collective memory of the landmarks. They look like impressionist paintings to me, which I guess they sort of are. The city-scapes especially make me think of Monet. Is impressionist photography a thing?
